Chery SA has bolstered the seven-seat Tiggo 8 Pro range with a new flagship, the Tiggo 8 Pro Max, that offers more safety, luxury features and a more powerful engine.
Adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, 10.25-inch floating infotainment touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are luxuries you can expect to find in the Tiggo 8 Pro Executive. The new Max model adds privacy glass to the rear passenger compartment, thicker windscreen and front side windows for better noise insulation, as well as a black leather interior that differs from the dark tan upholstery of the Executive model.
Other exclusive luxury features are wireless mobile phone charging and a full array of advanced driver assistance systems, including forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with emergency braking assistance, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring.
The big news with the Chery Tiggo 8 Max is a new engine featuring a second generation “i-HEC” combustion system that uses ultra-low friction technology, intelligent thermal management, and a new dual variable valve timing system to improve performance, refinement and fuel consumption.
Further enhancements to the engine include a redesigned turbo charger with a small diameter turbine and new bearing technology, offering a better response time. The 2.0l petrol motor produces 187kW and 390Nm, representing a 42kW and 100Nm increase over the 1.6 turbo Tiggo 8 Pro.
It is mated to a seven-speed DCT transmission and breathes through a new quad-pipe exhaust system. The Tiggo 8 Pro Max is claimed to accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in 7.3 seconds, bettering the 8.9 seconds of the regular model while consuming 7I/100km.

The flagship of the Chery range is sold with a seven-year/90,000km service plan instead of the five-year/60,000km plan sold with the Tiggo 8 Pro models. It also benefits from the pioneering 10-year /1-million-kilometre mechanical warranty as standard, but for the first owner only.
The Tiggo 8 Pro Max is now on sale at dealerships for R629,900.
